Summary

Actions towards sustainable development




A very important economic sector in the conurbation, with:



a strong economic issue for the conurbation: nearly 800 businesses, with a turnover over 2.3 billion euros, and a total staff of some 14,000 people,
eco-industry businesses that are national and European market leaders,
large groups that now have a true environmental policy,
9% of total environmental activity in France (mainly for water and waste disposal),
home to 3 major trade shows, including the European leader: POLLUTEC, Renewable Energies and Envirorisk,
a real training and research center (45 training and 60 research channels).




Develop the area in a sustainable way and reinforce the environmental cluster



 

Our policy enables us to help the various areas, and the businesses they host, to become aware of environmental concerns, and adapt accordingly

 

The Lyon conurbation's environmental strategy is basically threefold:

Local development: raise awareness, and encourage economic players to apply this approach, by showing how efficient true cooperation on sustainable development can be in an area with targeted issues.
Economic activity stimulation
Promotion of the conurbation's environmental skills
